So, when Sattley, a Concord native who now lives in Marion, Ind., sees a child told to close up shop for not having gone through the proper channels to legally make a product and sell it for public consumption, she gets a bit upset.

That led Sattley, whose maiden name is Sauber, to write the book, “Technically, That’s Illegal,” which is chocked full of law enforcement situations many might find surprising.

“It always seemed to catch my attention when regular people would get in trouble for things that either previously weren’t a problem or that they didn’t know were illegal,” said Sattley, a 1997 graduate of Concord High School.

“What really got me going was when I saw literally a half-dozen kids get their lemonade stands shut down for not having a permit or an inspection. It really enraged me.”

When Sattley appears on Stossel’s show, she plans to create a hypothetical day for an average person during which numerous laws may be broken without being realized.

“It’s going to be kind of from a mother’s perspective of how easily laws can be broken,” she said.

Sattley has received positive feedback from politically minded groups, such as Libertarians, however, she doesn’t see herself as an activist and tried to use a passive tone when writing “Technically, That’s Illegal.”

“I’m certainly not anti-police or anything ,” she said. “I’ve always tried to strictly follow the rules. That’s the way I’m wired.”

Sattley, who has two young sons, said wanting to teach her children to be law-abiding citizens played a major role in her research.

“I want my kids to follow the law and know the rules,” she said, “but when you start looking at everything there is out there, you wonder if that’s even possible.

“A lot of times, I think issues arise not so much from the law itself but how it’s enforced.”

At the urging of a friend, Sattley started a blog, technicallythatsillegal.com, while she was working on the book to chronicle the process and create interest. She continues to maintain the blog and receive stories of other examples of unusual situations from around the United States.

“I don’t think I’ll ever run out of material,” Sattley said.
